USB Devices

Each USB port supports a maximum of five supported and nonsupported devices that are connected to the phone. Each device connected to the phone is included in the maximum device count.

For example, your phone can support five USB devices (such as three Cisco Unified IP Color Key Expansion modules, one hub, and one other standard USB device) on the side port and five additional standard USB devices on the back port. (Many third-party USB products count as several USB devices.)

If you use a USB hub and remove the USB cable from the phone or device port during an active call, it may cause your phone or device to reboot. For more information, see your system administrator.

Cisco Unified IP Color Key Expansion Module

The Cisco Unified IP Color Key Expansion Module attaches to your Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, Cisco Unified IP Phone 9951, and Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 and allows you to add up to 36 extra line appearances or programmable buttons to your phone. The programmable buttons can be set up as phone line buttons, speed-dial buttons, or phone feature buttons.

When multiple Expansion Modules are attached, they are numbered according to the order in which they are connected to the phone. For example:

•Key Expansion Module 1 is the Expansion Module closest to the phone.

•Key Expansion Module 2 is the Expansion Module in the middle.

•Key Expansion Module 3 is the Expansion Module farthest to the right.

Features of the Cisco Unified IP Color Key Expansion Module

The Cisco Unified IP Color Key Expansion Module includes the following features.

1

Phone screen—Displays the phone number, speed-dial number (or name or other text label), phone service, phone feature, or Privacy assigned to each button.

Icons indicating line status appear similar to, and function the same as, those on the Cisco Unified IP Phone to which the Key Expansion Module is attached.

Shift Buttons—2 buttons. Each button corresponds to one page of 18 line keys. The button for page one is labeled with the number 1 and the button for page two is labeled with the number 2. The lights beneath each button indicate the state of the page as follows:

•Page is in view: solid green light

•Page is not in view: light off

•Page is not in view, with one or more alerting calls on the page: solid amber light

•Page is in view with one or more alerting calls on the page: solid green light

•A call is ringing on an inactive page: flashing amber light

Place a Call on the Expansion Module

Press the line button on the Expansion Module.

Configure Buttons

Before you can set up buttons, ask your system administrator for the following information to access your Cisco Unified Communications Manager User Options web page:

•The URL

•Your user name and password

After you have this information, you can configure your speed-dial numbers or program buttons to access phone services. Phone services can include, for example, weather, stock quotes, or corporate calendars and directories.

5. Press the Save softkey to set the brightness, or press the Cancel softkey to exit.

Cisco Unified Video Camera

(For the Cisco Unified IP Phone 9951 and 9971 only.)

The Cisco Unified Video Camera connects to your Cisco Unified IP Phone and allows you to make a point-to-point video call with another Cisco Unified IP Phone with a Cisco Unified Video Camera attached. If a phone does not have a Cisco Unified Video Camera attached, it can receive only one-way video.

Features of the Cisco Unified Video Camera

The Cisco Unified Video Camera includes the following features.

1

LED—Indicates the state of the camera as follows:

•Video transmitting—Green

•Video muted—Red

2

Camera lens—Lens can swivel up and down to adjust the camera angle. The lens shutter can close to block video transmission.

3

USB connector

4

Mounting pins—Use to secure the camera to your Cisco Unified IP Phone. The pins fit into the designated slots on top of the phone.

Camera Lens Shutter

Bluetooth Headsets

(For Cisco Unified IP Phone 9951 and 9971 only.)

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 9951 and 9971 support Bluetooth Class 2 technology when the headsets support Bluetooth. Bluetooth enables low-bandwidth wireless connections within a range of 30 feet (10 meters). The best performance is in the 3- to 6-foot (1- to 2-meter) range. You can pair up to five headsets, but only the last one connected is used as the default.

When using Bluetooth headsets with your phone, these conditions apply:

•You can pair and connect up to five Bluetooth headsets to your phone, but the last Bluetooth headset connected becomes the default for use with the phone.

•After a Bluetooth headset is connected, turning it off and on will reconnect it to the phone. Refer to these instructions before using the Bluetooth headset:

–If you have both a Bluetooth headset and an analog headset attached to the phone, only one type of headset will work at any time. Using a USB headset will disable both the Bluetooth and analog headset.

–Enable the Bluetooth headset to disable the analog headset.

–Disable the Bluetooth headset to enable the analog headset.

–Unplug the USB headset and then enable either the Bluetooth headset or the analog headset.

•For optimum headset coverage, use your Bluetooth headset within 10 ft of the phone, although Bluetooth coverage extends to about 30 ft from the phone.

For more information, see the documentation from your Bluetooth headset manufacturer.

While using Bluetooth headset, there can be potential interference issues, therefore it is recommended that you reduce the proximity of other 802.11b/g devices, Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, and large metal objects.

For a Bluetooth wireless headset to work, it does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the phone, but some barriers, such as walls or doors, and interference from other electronic devices, can affect the connection.

VDI Clients

The virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) client attaches to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951, or 9971. It provides a virtual environment that allows users to work and collaborate from any device and location at any time.

The VDI client is supported when it is powered by Cisco IP Power Cube only.
